A. Tesa Architecture

Since its founding in 2002, A.Tesa Architecture has become the firm of choice for residents of Newport and coastal New England seeking a home whose design couples a respectful interpretation of classic New England aesthetics with modern functionality; one which recalls, rather than replicates, the storied style of Newport’s Gilded Age.

It’s a fresh approach that ensures that each residence designed by A.Tesa Architecture has a timeless appeal that is both cherished by our client and will also be appreciated by future generations.

A.Tesa Architecture specialized in designing Shingle-style homes that complement their neighborhoods, yet are undeniably original. We view the design process as a partnership that begins by our taking the time to fully understand our clients’ vision and how they use their home. Every aspect of a home’s design is given thoughtful consideration.

Alec Tesa AIA, the firm’s principal, is a winner of the Henry Adams AIA Medal from the American Institute of Architecture. He was also honored as one of New England Home’s 2014 “5 Under 40,” which recognizes emerging talent in residential design throughout New England.
